In any case, I'm going to wait until my shop manual arrives before tearing into it.

Continuing to research the matter, I realized it would be a good idea to eliminate the comparatively inexpensive stuff -- hoses, purge valves, etc. -- before I replace the cannister, because a new cannister will set me back $382.50 for a genuine Porsche unit or $329.90 for a knockoff. I'm not used to Porsche's stratospheric prices yet.
